S3 allows users to securely store, manage, and access their data in a scalable manner. It is a scalable storage solution and can be used in many use cases such as internet-based applications, large data storage, backup, and archiving. S3 is used to store files and objects.

Files are split into multiple parts and these parts are stored separately. To prevent data loss, replication is performed, and multiple copies of data are stored. S3 provides users with easy-to-use storage space and allows them to expand storage space according to their needs. S3 also offers servers in different regions worldwide to minimize data transfer costs.

To make the most of Amazon S3, you need to understand a few simple concepts. Amazon S3 stores data as objects within folders. An object consists of a file and optional metadata that identifies the file. To store an object in Amazon S3, you upload the file you want to store to a folder. When you upload a file, you can set permissions on the object and any metadata. Folders are containers for objects. You can have one or more folders. You can set access to each folder (who can create, delete, and list objects in the folder), view access logs and objects, and select the geographic region where Amazon S3 will store the folder and its contents.
